This Wednesday 9/30/2015 (tomorrow) coming back from
their summer break, the Ohio House will be going back in session.

While they still have a lot of business to
address, it is important we continue our push for true health care freedom in
Ohio with the Health Care
Compact (HB 34).

At the federal level, the Health Care Compact
(H.J. Res. 50) is
picking up more conservative support with Ohio's own Congressman Jim
Jordan signing on as a co-sponsor.

Congressman Jordan was also pleased to
hear & strongly supports Ohio's effort to become a member state of the
Health Care Compact.

Please take a few minutes to contact your
Ohio State Representative and respectfully request that they support the
Health Care Compact (HB 34) and put Ohioans in charge of their own health care
destiny.

For the first time in more than 30
years, you can witness a supermoon in combination with a lunar eclipse. Late on
Sept. 27, 2015, in the U.S. and much of the world, a total lunar eclipse will
mask the moon’s larger-than-life face.

Unfortunately for Cleveland
Tea Party Patriots, local cloud cover will likely make it difficult to see, much
less photograph the blood moon. Fortunately, you can watch the live stream of
the event at NASA’s website here from 8pm to 11:30. Probably the best part will start around 10:10, when the eclipse begins.

UPDATE: 9/28: I had trouble with the links above; they were probably sluggish with heavy traffic, and the NASA stream kept interrupting with interviews. Morning after - here are great photos, as is usually the case at the UK Daily Mail here.

Ever since Donald
Trump announced his candidacy and identified illegal immigration as a major
issue, the media – and other candidates – have been forced to address the
problem. So far, most of the candidates, whether running as Democrats or
Republicans, are given a pretty poor grade for their positions over at
NumbersUSA here.
Most patriots who are closely following the campaigns so far may be surprised
at the low ratings for, e.g., Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina, and John Kasich.

Editorial from a Romanian newspaper by Cornel Nistorescu

Why
are Americans so united? They don’t resemble one another even if you paint
them! They speak all the languages of the world and form an astonishing mixture
of civilizations. Some of them are nearly extinct, others are incompatible with
one another, and in matters of religious beliefs, not even God can count how
many they are.

Still,
the American tragedy turned three hundred million people into a hand put on the
heart. Nobody rushed to accuse the White House, the army, the secret services
that they are only a bunch of losers. Nobody rushed to empty their bank
accounts. Nobody rushed on the streets nearby to gape about.

The
Americans volunteered to donate blood and to give a helping hand. After the
first moments of panic, they raised the flag on the smoking ruins, putting on
T-shirts, caps and ties in the colours of the national flag. They placed flags
on buildings and cars as if in every place and on every car a minister or the
president was passing. On every occasion they started singing their traditional
song: “God Bless America!”.

Silent
as a rock, I watched the charity concert broadcast on Saturday once, twice,
three times, on different tv channels. There were Clint Eastwood, Willie
Nelson, Robert de Niro, Julia Roberts, Cassius Clay, Jack Nicholson, Bruce
Springsteen, Silvester Stalone, James Wood, and many others whom no film or
producers could ever bring together. The American’s solidarity spirit turned
them into a choir. Actually, choir is not the word. What you could hear was the
heavy artillery of the American soul. What neither George W. Bush, nor Bill
Clinton, nor Colin Powell could say without facing the risk of stumbling over
words and sounds, was being heard in a great and unmistakable way in this
charity concert.

I
don’t know how it happened that all this obsessive singing of America didn’t
sound croaky, nationalist, or ostentatious! It made you green with envy because
you weren’t able to sing for your country without running the risk of being
considered chauvinist, ridiculous, or suspected of who-knows-what mean
interests. I watched the live broadcast and the rerun of its rerun for hours
listening to the story of the guy who went down one hundred floors with a woman
in a wheelchair without knowing who she was, or of the Californian hockey
player, who fought with the terrorists and prevented the plane from hitting a
target that would have killed other hundreds of thousands of people.

How
on earth were they able to bow before a fellow human? Imperceptibly, with every
word and musical note, the memory of some turned into a modern myth of tragic
heroes. And with every phone call, millions and millions of dollars were put in
a collection aimed at rewarding not a man or a family, but a spirit which
nothing can buy.

What
on earth can unite the Americans in such a way? Their land? Their galloping
history? Their economic power? Money? I tried for hours to find an answer,
humming songs and murmuring phrases which risk of sounding like commonplaces. I
thought things over, but I reached only one conclusion.

Thank Sen. Graham for acknowledging that the Corker-Cardin Iran Nuclear Agreement Approval Act is not being followed, and ask him to encourage Senate Republican Leadership to stand up to President Obama. President Obama wants to rush this process, but the clock has not started ticking yet. It is up to the GOP leadership to put the brakes on this!

Tell Sen. McConnell that the Corker-Cardin Iran Nuclear Agreement Approval Act is not being followed and demand that the Senate stand up to President Obama. The Senate must tell President Obama that the clock has not yet started ticking because the President has not given all the side deals to Congress. Americans overwhelmingly oppose this deal (60% of Americans want it stopped). The risks of not standing up are too great. Iran will be able to fund even more terrorist activities once the sanctioned money (billions of dollars!) is released to Iran.

3. Call Senator Bob Corker at 202.224.3344 and also contact him via Facebook and Twitter.

The message for Sen. Corker is the same as the message for Sen. McConnell (above).

4. Call your congressman (click here) and also tweet and comment on Facebook.

Ask your congressman to vote yes on Pompeo-Zeldin resolution, to vote no on approving the Iran Deal, and to vote yes to prohibit President Obama from lifting the sanctioned money.

Thank you again for your support for yesterday's rally. And thank you for making these calls today. It is impossible for us to convey just how important these calls are, and they really do make a difference! We regularly hear from Congressional offices that their phones were ringing off the hook because of Tea Party Patriots’ calls.

Refused to set up select committees to investigate the abuse of powers of this
administration

. . .

With two probable votes
against McConnell (Cruz and Lee) and pressure on the others, McConnell might be
toppled too. The sad fact is that most GOP senators agree with the McConnell
agenda, but the spotlight on Senate presidential candidates and/or the threat
of primaries for those up for reelection in 2016 could be enough to rid us of
this supine gobbler.

Cruz,
Trump, Palin, Levin, and Beck at DC rally :

Stop the Iran “Deal”

Update from Tea Party Patriots:

By now you are no doubt aware that
President Obama unilaterally joined into an agreement with Iran. You have
probably read how dangerous this deal is and how this deal would give Iran the
ability to build a nuclear bomb within the next decade. And you have probably
heard that a growing number of American voters, Members of Congress, and
national organizations are coming out in opposition to this deal.

But did you
know that we have one final opportunity to stop this terrible Iran Nuclear
Deal?

Thousands of Americans are coming to
Washington, D.C. [today 9/9] for a rally in opposition to the
deal. We have an unbelievable speaker line-up for the event: Ted
Cruz, Donald Trump, Sarah Palin, Mark Levin, and Glenn Beck are all
confirmed! This is our chance to tell everyone on Capitol Hill why this
deal must be defeated! . . .

Senator Barbara Mikulski
has announced that she will vote in favor of President Obama’s Iran deal.
Sen. Mikulski’s support is critical because she becomes the 34th Democrat
to announce that she will vote yea. Under the Corker framework so ingeniously
conceived by Republican leadership in Congress, this means Obama’s deal cannot
be defeated – under the legislation Congress is deemed to endorse the agreement
unless it can muster a now unattainable 67 Senate votes (and a similar
two-thirds of the House) to enact a resolution of disapproval over Obama’s
veto.

It is worth repeating that
Republicans rationalized this abdication of their duty to use their
constitutional powers to block Obama’s empowerment of America’s sworn enemies
by claiming that the legislation ensured that Congress would get to review the
deal. This, of course, was always preposterous.

. . .

Good job,
Mr. President, Sen. Mikulski, congressional Democrats, and GOP leadership. What
better way to “reaffirm our commitment to the safety and security of Israel”
than to conceive and grease the wheels for a deal that gives breathtaking aid
and comfort to its enemy – and ours.

Read the
rest here. The Sept. 9 rally protesting the Iran “deal” in
DC is still on, but sadly, it looks like the fix is already in.
